eVintage Wednesday Blog Tag~ Swing Town!

I've been tagged by SYDNEY'S VINTAGE FASHION RUNWAY for the eVINTAGE SOCIETY Wednesday Blog Tag.

Last week CBS premiered a new series called SWING TOWN. Set in 1976, the show features 3 couples and their families…..a childless couple with loads of money, toys and an open marriage….a young couple with a teenage boy trying to define their relationship….and a more conservative couple facing a changing world. It also features some fab 70s clothes and music! Lets talk 70s!

1) Show us your favorite 70s piece in your inventory, mens, womens, dress, lingerie…..whatever you LOVE!

How about something purchased by the show to be in a disco scene filmed early this week? I'm guessing it will be on Grant Show. A fantastic rooster print Nik Nik disco shirt....

2)Define disco wear as YOU see it.
For guys, the shirt above....paired with crisply pressed wide leg, hip hugging disco pants and platforms. For the girls, those slinky jersey knit silks and nylons with spaghetti straps and swingy skirts!

3)What was your favorite look of the 70s? The maxi dress? Bell bottoms? Culottes? Do tell.
I was little in the 70s but for grown ups, I envied those girls with their feathered hair and ruffled disco dresses headed out to dance. Personally, I wore a lot of terry cloth and have recently come into a slew of new old stock shorts and short sets, gradually being listed on KISSMYVINTAGE.COM, my shop on etsy.

4)Your neighbors invite you to a wild party where there may be disco music. Do you go?

ABSOLUTELY!!!

5)Grant Show. Sexy then? Sexy now? No idea?
No idea about then, oddly sexy now as swingin' disco neighbor man.

6) Romantic Gunne Sax Prairie/Renn Queen or Disco Diva? Whats your style?
Totally disco, though I did rock my share of Gunne Sax in the late 70s.

Manly Men...And Perhaps Less So.

First things first, my daughter is currently obsessed with the film NEVER ENDING STORY (which I'll admit to never seeing in the 80s...in 1984 I was 14 and too cool for kid's fantasy films....though somehow now not at all too cool to get into them and CRY WHEN THAT HORSE SINKS & DIES IN THE MUD!!! WTH?? Thats not cool. At. All.)

And so the child is incessantly singing a song by LIMAHL, who yes, despite being too fab for kid's films I was NOT too fab to have a crush on (Too Shy...Hush Hush Eye to Eye, anyone?). Right? Dig.

Killer hair, sexy pout.

On eBay now...

Limahl with 3-D glasses....does it get weirder and any sexier? I'm actually not sure.

Onward to the men's goods! No, no, menswear ladies. I've been gutting my back room at the shop and listed on eBay AT AUCTION (a bold move, no?) these relatively rare, and much more manly than Limahl's colorful 80s get up, 20s to 30s pieces. Started low, price to move! Click to get to listings...

20s to 30s cotton striped shirts w/ 44 chest....

An amazing 20s waistcoat...

And not at auction but a great buy-it-now price...a 70s disco NIK NIK shirt with a huge....rooster. With a ring on it. A ROOSTER RING.

Menswear. It can be cool!
